Syriana
Loosely based on the life of ex-CIA agent Bob Baer, this is a well-written, fast-paced, and well-edited movie. I was really not planning to watch this film, until I saw the writer-director on Charlie Rose, and was enamored by the stories he told:- There are corporate lawyers in Washington who know all the key players and families in the Middle East: they may know some things even the CIA are not aware of.
- Energy traders are good sources of geo-political information in the Middle East.
- Oil executives boast of affecting political events in oil/energy countries all over the world.

This posting makes it complete - every good friend I have has recommended this movie, including an Iranian friend who is critical of most Western films about the East, and friends to the left and centre. Gotta see it.
